Mine was, is, and forever will be the USS North Carolina BB-55. I am the proud grandson of SF3C Billy B. New, crewmember 1943-1946.

I have always loved the lines of some warships
The Bismarck, the King George V and the Iowa class were beautiful ships.

I also had a deep love for the USS Enterprise CV-6 as a boy. When I was eight my Dad gave me a copy of The Big E by Stafford that I still have.

Carriers are a potent weapon, but they are ugly all the same man, no beauty of line or eye catching symetry.

I'm going with the Battleship Pennsylvania. The image of the old super dreadnought leading the way in the Phillipines is a classic.

Great pic of the Pennsylvania! I use that one as one of my screensavers

I always liked the looks of the HMS Hood, despite its infamous fate it was a fine looking ship ... and the German cruiser Prinz Eugen looks good too, just like a "mini Bismark" (apparently this resemblance was intentional).

Love the lightning pic. What a great shot!
From WW I, i was always a little partial to HMS Princess Royal. I just thought it was a cool name for a warship when I was 7.

That last pic of the Lincoln (the one with the lighting) reminds me of that film The Final Countdown.
